Boston here I come!!!




Well it’s officially a month now, including my two weeks training, that I’ve been in the Xpose office. It’s gone by faster than any other month in my life and it’s been action packed to say the least.

I started off getting to grips with covering fashion on the show. I’ve never done anything like that before so it was a challenge, but I love my fashion so I loved it! From Brown Thomas to Marks & Spenser’s Autumn/Winter collection catwalks, I was at them all. There’s some great deals to be had this season with prices coming down a little bit, and the 80’s are truly back in vogue!

I’m just back from covering the Inside Soap awards in London the other night. Talk about madness! All the stars from Eastenders, Coronation Street and all the big soaps were there. Soapstars love their nights out and the awards were no exception. The cast of Eastenders won best soap and they were out to celebrate in force. I had a great night on the red carpet but I was exhausted afterwards so I went back to the hotel and stuffed my face with pizza! What a contrast to the glamour of the awards.

One of the highlights has to be my interview with Shakira which goes out on Xpose next Friday. I expected her to be a complete diva but she was actually so nice! OK… she did keep me waiting for two hours to interview her, but she made up for it in the interview. Who knew Shakira was actually a bit of craic! She had me laughing for most of the interview and her English is really good.

The most shocking event of the week is Paddy Power putting me at 50/1 to be the next James Bond and 100/1 to win an Oscar!!! Has the world gone mad! My life can’t get any crazier… or any better! The reason this has all happened is because I’m going to be in an MGM film! I’m going to Boston for a week in October to be in Kevin James’ new film Zookeeper. I interviewed Kevin earlier this year for his hit movie ‘Mall Cop’ and he wrote me a small part in the film because we had such a laugh! I’m being flown over first class and I’m staying with the cast in a 5 star hotel. I’ve never travelled first class so I’m excited about that as well. Can’t wait to get out there and do it. Me, in a real high budget Hollywood movie, what on earth will happen to me next!!!

First Day on Xpose

It's a very exciting day for me today... it's my first day on air on Xpose. I'm doing the daily dish which is the entertainment news section and can't wait. I was on the red carpet for the premiere of Up last night and that will be on the Dish too.

Make sure to tune in!!!

My Xpose life has started!




Well my life has been absolutely nuts since winning Total Xposure and it's been so much fun! I just got back from a week in the sun in the south of France on Sunday which was brilliant and well needed. After I won i spent 2 weeks doing loads of interviews and photoshoots (VIP mag pic above for example!) so it was great to get away.

I started in the Xpose office on Tuesday. I got to go out with Lisa on a fashion package she was doing so that was great craic. Yesterday and today I was in Galway and Cork for more launches of the TV3 autumn?winter programming. Went down really well.

So my first on-air package on Xpose will be Monday week! Can't wait! The night before (the Sunday) a documentary about me and my journey on Total Xposure will air so hope it's not too cringy!

I'm also continuing on FM104 as their movie correspondent so I'm thrilled I can do both jobs. Make sure to listen in to The Juice on Sunday and if your at the Leopardstown Races Champion stakes Day on Saturday watch out for me as I'm judging best dressed lady competition! Good luck and dress to impress!!! :)
